This document discusses racial discrimination in Chinua Achebe's novel Things Fall Apart. It provides examples from the novel of how the colonization of Nigeria by the English was inherently racist. Three characters from the novel, Mr. Brown, Reverend James Smith, and the District Commander, demonstrate racism in their dismissal of Igbo culture and belief in their own racial superiority over the Igbo people. The colonization process exploited the Igbo population and regarded them as primitive and uncivilized. The novel illustrates the harm caused by the racism underlying the colonization of Africa.

RUNNING HEAD: SINGLE CHARACTER ANALYSIS
Single Character Analysis
The book “Things Fall Apart” by Chinua Achebe published in 1958 simulates a story
about the pre-colonial life in Nigeria. The story revolves around a strong cultural community
with an individual with bad karma following his way leading to his demise and the penetration
by the White colonists that started eroding the rich culture of the community. The paper will
revolve around Okonkwo who is the main protagonist in the story. The character has the best
interests of the community because he was seeking to become one of the lords of the community
someday … “to become one of the lords of the clan” but his actions did not allow him. The
character is full of pride, hard work, violence and anger (Achebe, 2017). It is evident that in
chapters 14 and 17 Okonkwo is not at peace with his outcomes after having to leave his
community after killing his adopted son. In addition, his other son Nwoye was proving a burden
and failure because he was not following his father’s ways and interests.
The character is one of the most complicated and sophisticated characters with the best
track record. The book portrays Okonkwo as someone who will not back away from a fight as
long as it does not reflect poorly on his character. The individual hated his father and son
because of being poor, lazy and more into the music stuff that were not good for a man of the
society. The activities made it a challenge for the character to have any association to such traits
and instead worked hard and violent believing that it was the way a man should act. The
character comes off as a know it all person that would like to stand tall in all meeting
congregations and be heard just because it would fulfil his ego and those watching.

RUNNING HEAD: SINGLE CHARACTER ANALYSIS
The story is reflective to the main character because his actions tend to dictate the
outcome of the book and the whole community. The author lets the story of the main character
and that of the deeper meaning also simulate with the traits of the main character. It is evident in
the chapters; Okonkwo is not satisfactory with the farming and was almost giving up on the
practice because he is used to have his way and almost immediate outcomes …“Okonkwo works
hard on his new farm but with less enthusiasm than he had the first time around (Achebe,
2017)”. On the other hand, he believes he is a failure and it eats him away because his son is not
anything reflective to his character and thus despises him. The book itself focuses on a
community that is losing its culture to the White colonialists despite standing tall and trying to
salvage it and still ended up collaborating.

Things fall apart slides
This document provides biographical information about the Nigerian author Chinua Achebe and summarizes his most famous work, Things Fall Apart. It discusses that the novel depicts the late 19th century breakdown of traditional Igbo culture due to the arrival of European colonizers in Nigeria. The document also analyzes Achebe's goal of challenging colonial-era novels that portrayed Africa as primitive, instead aiming to represent indigenous African societies as complex with their own social and political institutions prior to colonialism. It summarizes some of the main themes, characters, and narrative elements of Things Fall Apart.
Post colexample
Postcolonialism refers to the period after colonialism and postcolonial literature opposes colonialism. While it generally focuses on racism and its effects, the meaning of postcolonialism is debated. It influences theories around power, resistance, and identity and questions established concepts. An analysis of Jane Eyre that claims it promotes colonialism through Christian imagery and dichotomies of white/black is criticized for jumping to conclusions without considering alternate meanings of symbols like darkness.
Thingsfalla
The document summarizes key aspects of post-colonialism seen in the novel Things Fall Apart by Chinua Achebe. It discusses how the Europeans disrupted Igbo culture, religion, and government during their colonial invasion, similar to actual post-colonial experiences. The Europeans sent missionaries to convert locals to Christianity, imposed their legal system, and aimed to erase traditional Igbo practices and replace them with European norms, showing post-colonial themes of cultural imperialism.

RUNNING HEAD: SINGLE CHARACTER ANALYSIS
Single Character Analysis
The book “Things Fall Apart” by Chinua Achebe published in 1958 simulates a story
about the pre-colonial life in Nigeria. The story revolves around a strong cultural community
with an individual with bad karma following his way leading to his demise and the penetration
by the White colonists that started eroding the rich culture of the community. The paper will
revolve around Okonkwo who is the main protagonist in the story. The character has the best
interests of the community because he was seeking to become one of the lords of the community
someday … “to become one of the lords of the clan” but his actions did not allow him. The
character is full of pride, hard work, violence and anger (Achebe, 2017). It is evident that in
chapters 14 and 17 Okonkwo is not at peace with his outcomes after having to leave his
community after killing his adopted son. In addition, his other son Nwoye was proving a burden
and failure because he was not following his father’s ways and interests.
The character is one of the most complicated and sophisticated characters with the best
track record. The book portrays Okonkwo as someone who will not back away from a fight as
long as it does not reflect poorly on his character. The individual hated his father and son
because of being poor, lazy and more into the music stuff that were not good for a man of the
society. The activities made it a challenge for the character to have any association to such traits
and instead worked hard and violent believing that it was the way a man should act. The
character comes off as a know it all person that would like to stand tall in all meeting
congregations and be heard just because it would fulfil his ego and those watching.

RUNNING HEAD: SINGLE CHARACTER ANALYSIS
The story is reflective to the main character because his actions tend to dictate the
outcome of the book and the whole community. The author lets the story of the main character
and that of the deeper meaning also simulate with the traits of the main character. It is evident in
the chapters; Okonkwo is not satisfactory with the farming and was almost giving up on the
practice because he is used to have his way and almost immediate outcomes …“Okonkwo works
hard on his new farm but with less enthusiasm than he had the first time around (Achebe,
2017)”. On the other hand, he believes he is a failure and it eats him away because his son is not
anything reflective to his character and thus despises him. The book itself focuses on a
community that is losing its culture to the White colonialists despite standing tall and trying to
salvage it and still ended up collaborating.

Things fall apart slides
This document provides biographical information about the Nigerian author Chinua Achebe and summarizes his most famous work, Things Fall Apart. It discusses that the novel depicts the late 19th century breakdown of traditional Igbo culture due to the arrival of European colonizers in Nigeria. The document also analyzes Achebe's goal of challenging colonial-era novels that portrayed Africa as primitive, instead aiming to represent indigenous African societies as complex with their own social and political institutions prior to colonialism. It summarizes some of the main themes, characters, and narrative elements of Things Fall Apart.
Post colexample
Postcolonialism refers to the period after colonialism and postcolonial literature opposes colonialism. While it generally focuses on racism and its effects, the meaning of postcolonialism is debated. It influences theories around power, resistance, and identity and questions established concepts. An analysis of Jane Eyre that claims it promotes colonialism through Christian imagery and dichotomies of white/black is criticized for jumping to conclusions without considering alternate meanings of symbols like darkness.
Thingsfalla
The document summarizes key aspects of post-colonialism seen in the novel Things Fall Apart by Chinua Achebe. It discusses how the Europeans disrupted Igbo culture, religion, and government during their colonial invasion, similar to actual post-colonial experiences. The Europeans sent missionaries to convert locals to Christianity, imposed their legal system, and aimed to erase traditional Igbo practices and replace them with European norms, showing post-colonial themes of cultural imperialism.
Post colonialism in Things Fall Apart
Chinua Achebe's novel Things Fall Apart examines the effects of colonialism on traditional Igbo society in Nigeria in the late 19th century. The novel depicts village life before the arrival of British colonialists and missionaries. It focuses on the main character Okonkwo, a respected village leader, and how the clash between traditional Igbo culture and the new colonial system brings about his tragedy and suicide. Through Okonkwo's downfall, Achebe illustrates how colonialism eroded longstanding Igbo traditions and social structures and precipitated cultural and political changes that challenged people's way of life.
Igbo culture in Things Fall Apart
Hello readers, here I am sharing one PowerPoint presentation on The African Literature. I hope it will helpful you.
Things fall apart NOTES
Chinua Achebe's novel Things Fall Apart depicts the late 19th century clash between traditional Igbo culture in Nigeria and European colonialism. Achebe founded a Nigerian literary movement that drew from oral traditions to counter European narratives portraying Africa as primitive. The novel details Igbo customs and institutions before colonization, showing a sophisticated society. It follows Okonkwo, a respected warrior, as Christian missionaries undermine traditions and Igbo culture begins to dissolve. Achebe combines Igbo and Western references to demonstrate the conflict between tradition and imposed change, highlighting colonialism's negative impacts on African civilization.

Orientalism - Muslims characters portrait Bollywood film
This document discusses the portrayal of Muslims in Bollywood films from an Orientalist perspective. It begins with an introduction to Edward Said's book Orientalism, which defined differences between East and West and challenged stereotypes. The document then discusses how modern Orientalism and Western views have negatively portrayed Islam and Muslims. It argues that some Bollywood films, like Padmaavat, Lamhaa, Kalank, and Raees, have similarly portrayed Muslim families and communities in a stereotypical and negative light. The conclusion states that Bollywood movies often depict Muslims in India and worldwide in a more negative rather than positive manner, which can spread and reinforce stereotypes.
Anti reading of the text Old man and the sea
This paper analyzes Ernest Hemingway's novel "The Old Man and the Sea" from an anti-reading perspective. It summarizes the key plot points of the novel, which follows an old fisherman's struggle to catch a giant marlin and his battle with sharks. The paper then challenges the traditional interpretation that the story represents a hopeful message about the connection between struggle and success. It argues that in reality, many people struggle without achieving success and provides examples from fields like sports, business, politics and film to support this view. The conclusion is that while struggle may be a part of routine life, it does not necessarily guarantee success.
Waiting for Godot paly
Vladimir and Estragon are constantly waiting for Godot, hoping he will arrive and provide meaning or answers. Their waiting reflects how Hindus patiently wait for divine intervention through rituals and worship.
The play also draws comparisons to Christian concepts, with references to biblical stories and symbols. Lucky and Pozzo represent the dynamic between saints and their followers, where the saints introduce themselves as superior and the followers' beliefs become meaningless after the saint dies.
A boy who periodically appears gives the men hope by providing descriptions of Godot, reflecting how religious messengers bring updates about God. In conclusion, waiting is seen as an endless part of human life from both a philosophical and spiritual perspective.

Presentation - 8. Cultural studies, Postmodernism explain with example
Jean Baudrillard was a postmodernist philosopher who developed the concept of hyperreality. [1] He argued that the distinction between reality and illusion has broken down, as signs and images now refer only to other signs and not to reality. [2] For example, our knowledge of mangoes comes from media representations rather than direct experience. [3] Baudrillard believed this results in a "simulacrum" where signs become more real than reality itself.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UP
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems
9
Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

African literature- Things Fall Apart
- 1. Paper- 14. African Literature Unit – 4. Things Fall Apart Topic- Racial Discrimination Department of English, Maharaja krishnakumarsinghji Bhavnagar university Prepared by Dipti Gohil
- 2. What is Racial Discrimination ? Race is a human construct which has usually found its manifestation in two forms- the biological construct and the culture construct. These forms, which often define ‘race’ are not independent of each other. Rather it is their dependency which has enabled the concept to perpetuation is again a third construct the political construct.
- 3. Constructions of Race Biological construct Political construction of Race Cultural construction
- 4. - The novel follows the life of Okonkwo, an Igbo("Ibo" in the novel) man and local wrestling champion in the fictional Nigerian clan of Umuofia. - He leads a fine life until he found himself and his village being intruded on by English men. - These English men tried to take control of the Igbo people and imposed their values upon them; this is colonization. - The colonization of Nigeria is inherently racist, according to the examples given in Chinua Achebe’s book Things Fall Apart. - Three characters, Mr. Brown, Reverend James Smith, and the District Commander, will be used as examples in support of this claim.
- 5. Racism is the belief in which certain groups of people are considered superior (or inferior) because of their skin color. One example of racism is the Igbo peoples’ stories of the British men. These stories mock the white skin the English men have – the Igbo villagers call them lepers and albinos. (Achebe, 138-139 and 74) In this example the Igbo people believe they are superior. In other cases, it was the English who thought they were superior and thought of the Ibo people as uncivilized, using words like “primitive” when describing them. (Achebe 209) Exploitation of a group of people is a main part in the process of colonization.
- 6. Mr. Brown • He dismissed the Igbo The first example is of Mr. Brown who shows There are no other gods,’ said Mr. Brown. ‘Chukwu is the only God and all others are false” (Achebe 179). • Mr. Brown uses Christianity to establish claims of superiority through medicine and education. • Though racism is not obvious in his words, he still demonstrates racism because he is telling the Igbo people
- 7. Reverend James Smith • He took the place of Mr.Brown. • Igbo people converted to Christianity. • He clearly implies white is good and superior than black. • Black and white how deeply rooted racism is when it comes to colonization. • It is clearly representation of racism.
- 8. District commissioner He write a book on them (Igbo people) He could almost write a chapter or at least a paragraph on Okonkwo’s life. It is also shows value of non white people. This is evidence of “othering” as well as implied racism. His book title – “The Pacification of the primitive Tribes of the lower Niger”. The key word is “primitive”, he obviously consider the Ibo people to be uncivilized which again, connects to racism because anything other than the colour white is evil and primitive.
- 9. Conclusion- The examples using three characters of: Mr. Brown, Reverend James Smith, and The District Commissioner are evidence of racism in Achebe’s description of colonization. The title of Achebe’s novel, Things Fall Apart, illustrates the harm caused by colonization and racism.
